  • Anti-Influencer Method: She Made $60K on TikTok Shop Without Going Viral with Meg the Creator | EP 30
    Dec 3 2025

    Ever wonder if you need a huge following or perfect video skills to actually make money as a creator?

    Nate sits down with Megan (aka Meg the Creator), a working mom who went from small-town job hopper to full-time content creator without chasing viral fame or pretending to be an influencer.

    Megan breaks down what she calls the "anti-influencer method," a practical approach to making real money through UGC, Amazon reviews, and TikTok Shop. She started with zero followers, zero portfolio, and zero fancy gear.

    Chapters:
    00:08:20 - Beginners Quick Wins
    00:12:45 - Finding Products That Actually Make Money
    00:16:58 - Building Confidence as a Creator
    00:25:40 - How to Stand Out When Pitching
    00:29:55 - The Power of Retainers
    00:33:18 - Data Brands Actually Care About
    00:36:42 - The Reality of TikTok Shop
    00:39:58 - Evergreen Products That Never Stop Selling
    00:43:10 - Turning UGC Into Long-Term Freelancing

    What she did have was curiosity, consistency, and a willingness to figure it out as she went. Now she's built a thriving community where she helps everyday creators land their first paid gigs fast.

    If you've ever felt stuck wondering where to start, how to get confident on camera, or what brands actually want from creators, this conversation clears it all up. Megan walks through the exact platforms she used to land quick wins, the tools that helped her scale, and why agencies aren't as intimidating as you think.

    By the end, you'll see how getting started is simpler than you thought.

    Listen and learn how everyday products, simple setups, and consistent reps can build real momentum in the creator space.

  • Creative Strategist Explains How to Get Brands to Hire You for UGC with Olivia Larsen | EP 29
    Nov 26 2025

    Ever send a pitch or apply for a gig and wonder what actually happens on the other side?

    Nate sits down with Olivia Larsen to pull back the curtain on what brands and agencies really want from creators.

    Olivia went from working 12-hour overnight shifts at a veterinary ER to building a full-time UGC career and then landed on the other side of the table as a creative strategist at a marketing agency. Now she's the one hiring creators, reviewing portfolios, and deciding who gets the gig.

    Chapter:
    05:28 – Adding creative strategy to increase income
    07:23 – The test project brands require before hiring
    10:49 – The biggest misconception about creative strategy
    11:58 – What happens when an ad underperforms
    17:30 – The moment she realized talent presence makes or breaks ads
    22:14 – Why UGC creators must learn for the camera
    28:12 – What brands actually look for in your portfolio
    36:32 – The entitlement problem agencies deal with daily

    If you've ever wondered why some creators land consistent work while others struggle to book their first paid gig, this conversation delivers. Olivia breaks down the real expectations around on-camera presence, usage rights, portfolio quality, and communication.

    She also gets honest about the entitlement she's seeing from newer creators and why understanding your leverage matters more than copying someone else's rates.

    They tackle the stuff nobody wants to say out loud: why being "authentic" isn't enough, what makes a creative strategist want to work with you again, and how to stop pricing yourself out of opportunities before you've even built a reputation.

    By the end, you'll understand exactly what separates creators who get hired once from creators who become go-to talent for agencies and brands. Whether you're just starting out or trying to scale, Olivia's brand-side perspective will help you see your work through a different lens.

    Listen and learn how to position yourself as someone brands actually want to work with and NOT just another creator in the inbox.

  • How This Couple Built a UGC and TikTok Shop Business Together After Influencer Burnout with Ari and Abdul | EP 28
    Nov 19 2025

    Wondering if doing UGC with your partner would be amazing... or a recipe for disaster?

    Nate sits down with Ari and Abdul, a creator couple who went from burned-out micro-influencers to thriving UGC entrepreneurs.

    Ari shares how she discovered UGC three years ago when she was desperate to step away from constantly sharing her life online, and how she eventually convinced Abdul to join her.

    Their story is honest, funny, and refreshingly real. From bribing their kids to be in videos to figuring out how to read the same brief completely differently. Nate even shares how his 14-year-old daughter started her own Fiverr gig and is already booking paid work.

    If you've ever felt stuck between wanting creative freedom and needing consistent income, this conversation is for you.

    Chapters:
    05:30 - When We Realized We’re the Niche
    06:05 - Life Assets That Brands Pay For
    07:17 - Camera Presence Without Cringe
    10:40 - Kids, Bribes, and Brand-Building
    13:58 - Quitting the Influencer Hamster Wheel
    16:20 - Freedom in Scripts, Not Self
    22:05 - The $0.50 for 2M Views Wake-Up
    31:00 - Cracking TikTok Shop
    40:55 - Couple Workflow That Works

    Ari and Abdul break down how UGC gave them the financial breathing room that influencing never did without the pressure of always being "on" or performing for an audience.

    They also dive into their recent TikTok Shop success after months of testing and almost giving up, and why the skills you build as a UGC creator are the exact ones that unlock other income streams.

    By the end, you'll understand how to turn your partnership into a competitive advantage, how to avoid the drama when filming together, and why starting "messy" beats waiting for perfection every single time.

    Listen and learn why brands love hiring creator pairs who bring different perspectives, natural chemistry, and flexibility.
